In the rst part of the paper, I present a new treatment of the imperfective paradox (Dowty 1979) for the restricted case of trajectory-of-motion events. This treatment extends and re-nes those of Moens and Steedman (1988) and Jackendoo (1991). In the second part, I describe an implemented algorithm based on this treatment which determines whether a speciied sequence of such events is or is not ...

We defend a set of acceptance rules that avoids the lottery paradox, that is closed under classical entailment, and that accepts uncertain propositions without ad hoc restrictions. We show that the rules we recommend provide a semantics that validates exactly Adams’ conditional logic and are exactly the rules that preserve a natural, logical structure over probabilistic credal states that we ca...

This chapter presents an in-depth longitudinal study of hospital work. It discusses standardization after the introduction of a computer-mediated nurse–nurse/ interdisciplinary handover in a cardiology ward and its effect on collaborative work activities. The standardization also plays out in the physical architecture adopted by the hospital, which impact on the " who " and " how " collaboratio...

Mechanical and electromagnetic relations involved in the Trouton–Noble paradox are analysed on the basis of special relativity theory as well as on the basis of Maxwellian electrodynamics. It is shown that the paradox only arises when not all dynamical effects associated with the moving capacitor used by Trouton and Noble are considered. Crucial for the resolution of the paradox is the fact tha...

Abstract This document expands upon the relationship between discrete and continuous entropy given in (Phys. Rev. Lett. 11

Following the seminal work of late 19th century economist Etienne Laspeyres we analyse the incidence of the Prussian milling and butchery tax shortly before its repeal in 1875. A comparison of flour prices in cities which levied this tax with cities which did not reveals unusually strong tax overshifting. Modern theories which explain overshifting of a specific tax argue with quality improvemen...

Performing High Voltage (HV) tasks with a multi craft work force create a special set of safety circumstances. This paper aims to present vital information relating to when it is acceptable to use a single or a two-layer soil structure. Also it discusses the implication of the high voltage infrastructure on the earth grid and the safety of this implication under a single or a two-layer soil str...

The traditional Gibbs‟ calculation of the entropy of distinguishable classical particles that leads to Gibbs Paradox has been criticized recently. This criticism, if valid, would require a substantially different definition of entropy in general. However, the traditional definition of entropy works quite well in situations where the distinguishability of classical particles is taken seriously w...
